I have worked as a specialist provider for Rehab Jobfit for a couple of years. During this time I have been very fortunate to have developed a cordial working relationship with Amanda. She is highly effective whilst maintaining a great human touch. Her eye for detail is superb and her personal integrity second to none. She is one of the finest managers working in the Welfare to work sector.
